In this Wikileak, I found that although Spain and US alike try to find and imprison Al-Quada and Islamic terrorist groups, their ways of fighting terrorism are different. Here is an excerpt of the report that I found interesting:
"Observers believe Prime Minister Zapatero's philosophy on fighting terrorism may differ somewhat from that of the United States. Zapatero has said that he views military force as a "last resort" in the war on terrorism. He has stressed the need to address social and economic roots of terrorism both in Spain and in Islamic countries. He has called for an "alliance of civilizations" among Western countries and Islamic ones. Zapatero has underlined the need to integrate the Muslim population in Spain. an "alliance of civilizations" among Western countries and Islamic ones. "
Regardless of Bush and his Republican background, why do we believe in the power of the military to solve problems?
